5.1.2.2 Specify the Storing of Debugging Information
There are two methods for storing debugging information: on-memory and on-demand.
Select one of these two methods. (The on-memory method is selected by default.)
To select the on-demand method, click the On Demand check box.
The specified content becomes effective when the next being download.
On-memory method
Debugging information is stored in the internal memory of your computer.
Usually, select this method.
On-demand method
Debugging information is stored in a reusable temporary file on the hard disk of your computer.
Because the stored debugging information is reused, the next time you download the same load
module it can be downloaded faster.
This method is suitable when it takes so long time to download the debugging information,
because the PC has less memory against the load module file size.
Notes
If the load module size is large, the on-memory method may be inefficient because it requires a
very large amount of time for downloading. In such a case, select the on-demand method.
In the on-demand method, a folder in which to store a reusable temporary file is created in the
folder that contains the downloaded load module. This folder is named after the load module
name by the word "~INDEX_" to it. If the load module name is "sample.abs", for example, the
folder name is "~INDEX_sample". This folder is not deleted even after quitting the debugger.
